Abstract
Nowadays, maintenance management is focused on road infrastructure. However, this has been a standard practice in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States of America. In Indonesia and other developing countries, the maintenance management of road infrastructure uses the road’s life cycle as an indicator for the maintenance management priority, rather than the vision, mission, objectives and resources of the road authority’s organization. Thus, the main objective of this research is to develop a Strategic Framework for Road Infrastructure Maintenance Management (SFRMM) that relates to an organization’s vision, mission, objectives and resources. To achieve this objective, a research blueprint was designed as a guidance for the researcher. The process to achieve the objective starts with literature review in areas related to maintenance management, performance indicators and success factors. From this review, 41 indicators were identified and grouped into 15 criteria. The collected data were analysed using a few statistical tools namely Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Natural Cut-off Point Method and Strength Weakness Opportunities and Threat (SWOT) ANALYSIS. As a result, 10 indicators were identified as the critical success factors (CSFs), which are average speed of traffic, implementation of maximum load capacity limit, management of road life, measurement of surface roughness, plot, texture and roughness of road, road quality, travel smoothness, safety of road maintenance, availability of road supporting facilities and pestilent accidents. These factors have been validated by experts who had more than 10 years of working experience in related areas. These factors formed the basis for formulating the SFRMM. As a conclusion, the researcher had demonstrated that the main objective of this research had been achieved. The researcher suggested that this strategic framework that relates to the organization’s vision, mission, objective and resources can be applied to manage the maintenance of other real asset and infrastructure
